Quintessential English country living ; a Grade II listed thatched cottage with landscaped gardens and far-reaching views.
Description
Once a traditional mill house, this charming Grade II listed thatched cottage is nestled in the highly sought-after village of Sudborough. Enjoying a tranquil riverside position with far-reaching views across Harper’s Brook and the rolling fields beyond, the property offers versatile accommodation, landscaped gardens, and an abundance of period character. A quintessential countryside retreat, it blends timeless heritage with the comforts of modern living.
Set across two floors, the accommodation provides up to four bedrooms, four reception rooms and two bathrooms, in addition to a dining kitchen and practical utility room. Externally, the property continues to impress with a garage, potting shed/workshop, and an additional store, all complementing the landscaped gardens that embrace the home’s riverside setting.
Full of warmth, history and charm, this delightful cottage combines authentic character with modern comforts. With its idyllic position, flexible layout, and enviable village location, it is the perfect retreat for those seeking both tranquillity and connection.
Accommodation
Stepping inside, the cottage immediately reveals its character. A central entrance hall provides access to the heart of the home. To the right, the double-aspect kitchen is bright and welcoming, with direct access to the garden. Hand-built cabinetry is complemented by a butler’s sink, while a built-in banquette offers seating for a breakfast table. A practical utility room accommodates white goods, and a downstairs shower room adds further convenience.
The reception rooms are equally versatile. The charming dining room features an inglenook fireplace, exposed timber beams, and stone walls, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Beyond lies the characterful sitting room with open fireplace, the perfect setting for cosy evenings. The garden room, or snug, opens directly onto the terrace and flows through to the study, a flexible space that can serve as a home office, morning room, or fourth/fifth bedroom, complete with its own cloakroom.
Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy high ceilings, window seats, and exposed beams. The principal bedroom is light and spacious, with double-aspect windows and ample space for storage. Bedroom Two, currently used as an upstairs sitting room, opens onto a covered balcony with glorious countryside views. Bedroom Three is another generous double, while Bedroom Four serves as a dressing room. The large family bathroom is flooded with natural light thanks to a double-aspect window, while generous storage further enhances practicality. The loft space offers potential for conversion (STPP).
Outside
The gardens are a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of the property’s idyllic setting. The cottage garden is filled with colourful borders, mature fruit trees and a winding gravel path, a courtyard terrace providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining. Enchanting views across Harper’s Brook create a serene backdrop. The garden has a further tiered level next to the river’s bank providing plenty of room for a kitchen garden.
At the far end of the garden lies a single garage with adjoining workshop, providing excellent storage and off-road parking.
Location
Sudborough is a quintessential Northamptonshire village, tucked away amongst rolling countryside yet ideally placed for access to nearby towns and commuter routes. The village itself is steeped in history, with a charming church, attractive period homes and a close-knit community feel.
Everyday amenities can be found in the neighbouring market town of Thrapston (4 miles), which provides supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and leisure facilities. The historic market town of Oundle (7 miles) offers a wider range of independent shops and services and is particularly well known for its thriving market town atmosphere and the prestigious Oundle School.
For families, the area offers a choice of well-regarded state and independent schools, including those in Oundle, Thrapston and Wellingborough.
Transport links are excellent, with the A14 and A45 within easy reach, connecting to the wider motorway network. Rail services from both Kettering (10 miles) and Wellingborough (14 miles) provide direct trains into London St Pancras in under an hour, making this a highly convenient location for commuters.
Surrounded by picturesque countryside and nature reserves, the village also offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, all on the doorstep.
Square Footage: 1,926 sq ft

Mains water, electricity and drainage, with oil fired central heating. LPG bottles are used for the gas hob.
Fixture & Fittings: Only those mentioned in these sale particulars are included in the sale. All others such as curtains, light fittings and garden ornaments are specifically excluded but may be available by separate negotiation.
